rebirth first official

After taking over the errand, Gao Zhanming immediately found Yinhe to discuss with him.After all, he has just obtained this status not long ago, and he is not very familiar with the affairs here. Although he has done business in the private sector in the past, and has also planned many banquet activities, the Gao family is different from the private sector. He doesn't know anything about the silver, how much money each person receives, and the rules, etc., but Yinhe is the servant who has been by Gao Zhanming's side all the time, so he should be more familiar with these matters.

Unexpectedly, when Yinhe heard Gao Zhanming's words, he immediately showed a worried expression, and said in a murmur, "Master...how about you report an illness and go back home to recuperate for a few days, so you can avoid this matter."

Gao Zhanming never expected him to react like this, and wondered, "What's wrong? Is this so difficult?"

Yin He lowered his head and did not speak.

Gao Zhanming asked: "According to the usual practice, how much will it cost for such a scene? How many shares are suitable for each person?"

Yin He said in a low voice: "Since it is a banquet for the second master of the Duke's Mansion, it is naturally extravagant to do it, and to invite students from the Quanzong School, the cost will be three to five thousand taels."

Gao Zhanming was so startled that he almost jumped up from his chair.Three 5000 taels of silver? !He had previously thought that a few hundred taels was already an exaggeration!In the past, he used to prepare banquets for those state and county governors, buy delicacies from mountains and seas, invite the best local prostitutes to perform, and no matter how extravagant they are, it would only cost tens of taels of silver per person.It's just a banquet for some young children, and it actually costs thousands of taels of silver? !I'm afraid the royal family doesn't have such extravagance!

Yinhe worried and said: "Master, you should never take this matter on yourself. You have to collect money from the members when you organize the banquet. This matter is very offending. You have to post a lot of money yourself. We I'm afraid it's..."

Gao Zhanming tried his best to suppress his shock, and said: "I take care of this matter just to put more effort into it, but the money doesn't have to be a bit more than others. According to what you said, this kind of banquet is just to join in, and one person needs to pay more. How about a hundred and eighty taels of silver? Can I afford this money?"

Yinhe hesitated for a moment, then shook his head slightly.

Gao Zhanming frowned, it seemed that his family was really poor, and he couldn't even afford the 80 taels of silver, which was worse than when he was in private business.He said: "Can't I get the money? Then how do I deal with this kind of social occasion?"

Yinhe knew that the young master of his family had been seriously ill since he was injured, and had a high fever for several days, which made his mind a little confused, and he couldn't remember some past events clearly.He said in a lower voice: "Master, you used to focus on studying, and didn't take these mundane things to heart. When I made friends with the second master of An Guogong's family in the past, the second master paid all the money for you. Later, you and After that second master fell out, when encountering such things, you always excuse yourself..."

Gao Zhanming was very surprised when he heard this.Since he was reborn until now, he only heard people say how difficult he was to get close to him in the past, and how he was at odds with Gao Huachong, or was it the first time he heard that he and Gao Huachong had a good relationship in the past?What kind of friendship is it?And what caused the troubles to be in an incompatible situation today?

Gao Zhanming wanted to find out the past between him and Gao Huachong, but he couldn't ask directly, so he thought about it and said tentatively: "These days have passed, and I have let go of the past grievances between my cousin Zihui and me. Yinhe, In your opinion, is it possible for me and my cousin to reconcile the old relationship?"

Yin He's expression suddenly became terrified, he knelt down with a plop, buried his face on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Master, I dare not talk too much."

Gao Zhanming was surprised: Looking at Yinhe's appearance, could there be something unspeakable hidden in the matter between him and Gao Huachong?He stabilized his mind, helped Yinhe up, and said in a gentle voice: "You can just say it."

Yin He lowered his head, trembling uncontrollably, as if someone was holding a knife to his neck and was about to chop him off.

The more he was like this, the more suspicious Gao Zhanming became, and hurriedly said: "Yinghe, I will tell you something from the bottom of my heart. You also know that in this sect, your master is no more respectable than other masters. I am now Even if I have a headache for this part of the money, what kind of master's prestige should I have with you? What's more, the only person around me is you who is closest to me, and only you can help me. You and I are both prosperous, and we are both damaged , if you are still afraid of those falsehoods and refuse to tell me the truth, I really don't know what to do."

Yinhe still looked sincere and fearful, and remained silent.Gao Zhanming comforted him again and again, causing Hecai to speak timidly: "Since the second master broke the matter between the wife and An Guogong, and left such cruel words to the young master, I am afraid that the second master will never change his mind..."

Gao Zhanming was taken aback: "Madam and...An Guogong?!" If he was shocked to know that Gao Huachong and the previous Gao Zhanming had had a very close time, the matter thrown out by Yinhe now It was about to knock him out!Gao Zhanming's mother had an affair with An Guogong? !Gao Huachong's own father, An Guogong? !Are there other An Guogongs in this world? !

Gao Zhanming couldn't believe it, he thought he heard it wrong, but Yinhe's trembling appearance confirmed his guess.

God, this is the No. [-] Gao family in the world, how could this kind of incest between uncle and sister-in-law happen? !My younger brother died early, and it is my duty for my elder brother to take care of his younger brother and daughter-in-law, but if he took care of him in bed...it would be outrageous!

Gao Zhanming tried his best to stabilize his mind, sorted out his disordered thoughts, and murmured: "Yeah... If something like this happens, he won't change his mind again... My cousin left cruel words to me? You repeat it What he said that day made me completely die of this heart..."

Yinhe fell to the ground and kowtowed desperately: "Master, please spare this servant, I dare not!"

Gao Zhanming shouted: "Say!"

Yinhe was forced hard, tears were streaming down his face from fear, and he said in a trembling voice: "Second Lord, he said... the one who lives in a slut... is indeed a slut... the whole family is the same... Lord, please stop Soliciting this kind of thing, you go to ask the second master for mercy, go home when you are sick, and don't have anything to do with them again!"

Gao Zhanming patted his forehead hard.Is the life of a bitch really a bitch?The whole family is the same?His mother is incest with his uncle and sister-in-law, so he and his mother are the same thing, that is to say... He and Gao Huachong were actually brothers in the past?God, this situation is worse than the worst situation he can think of! !

Gao Zhanming was silent for a while, then smiled wryly: "Don't get involved with them again? How is it possible? After all, I am from the Gao family, and he is my cousin. The matter is already like this, and I can't hide from it. Why not?" Take the initiative to resolve it. I have to handle this matter well."

Yinhe cried: "Master, you have been hurt like this by them, don't you turn back?"

Gao Zhanming shook his head and said, "Yinghe, don't worry, I won't follow the old path again. Your father wants to be famous, and he has to rely on his own ability! I'll just ask you a question, will you help me?" Now Gao Zhanming In this situation, if he wants to get ahead, the level of Zongxue is indispensable.Here, he may learn more knowledge and make friends with people who are helpful to him. If he leaves religion, his path will be more difficult.And if he wants to stay, he must change the current situation and how others see him.

Yin He hurriedly said: "Master, you can't beat them..."

Gao Zhanming interrupted: "Who said I want to fight with them? Wouldn't it be good if I could reconcile with them? Just say, are you willing to help me?"

Yinhe said: "You saved my slave's life, what I want to do, I will help you even if I risk my life. It's just that this slave really loves you!"

Gao Zhanming helped Yin He up, pulled him to his side, held his hand and said, "Don't worry. I've gone through these things, and I'm no longer the old man. Do you believe me?"

Yinhe hurriedly said: "Of course the slave believes in the master."

Gao Zhanming smiled happily and said, "That's good." He thought for a moment, and said, "You go and ask for a leave for me, I'm going back home for a few days."

Yin He was taken aback for a moment: "Ah?" Just now how he persuaded his family's young man to go back to the mansion to avoid the limelight, but the young master didn't listen, and even said ambitiously that he would work hard to change others' perception of him.It's been a blink of an eye, why are you going back again?

Gao Zhanming pushed him: "What are you doing stupidly, don't ask me, I have my own reasons, you just go and ask for three days off for me first, saying that my injury is open again, and I want to go back The government rests for a few days."

Yinhe was pushed and shoved by Gao Zhanming, and quickly ran out in small steps.

Early the next morning, the rest of the children went to class with their books in their hands, while Gao Zhanming was preparing to return home with a package on his back.

As soon as Gao Zhanming went out, he bumped into Gao Huachong and Han Baiyue who came out of the next yard.Han Baiyue looked very listless, her eye sockets were slightly red and swollen, and her eyes were blue, as if she didn't sleep well last night - that's for sure.Gao Zhanming listened to Han Baiyue's high-pitched and passionate cry yesterday. He found cotton to plug his ears. Han Baiyue's sonorous and forceful cry still penetrated the cotton and stimulated his eardrums. It was not until midnight that the partition wall became quiet. Sleep peacefully.

When Han Baiyue saw the burden on Gao Zhanming's back, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Hey, where is Jun Liang going?"

Gao Zhanming limped and took two steps towards him cooperatively, and said distressed: "Young brother didn't sleep well last night, and rolled off the bed, causing the old wound to open again, so I plan to go back home to recuperate for a few days before coming back. "

Han Baiyue smiled triumphantly: "Didn't sleep well last night? Is there something bothering you?"

Gao Zhanming smiled slightly, and said: "That's not true, it's just that I vaguely heard two male cats fighting outside the window last night when I was half asleep.

Han Baiyue's face immediately turned black, and Gao Huachong's face couldn't look any better, and he gave Gao Zhanming a vicious look.

Han Baiyue wanted to see the look of jealousy on Gao Zhanming's face, but Gao Zhanming's expression was open-minded, not at all uncomfortable, but made Han Baiyue secretly annoyed.It took him a while to force a sneer from between his teeth, and said: "Brother Jun Liang must take good care of him, don't delay the Dragon Boat Festival."

Gao Zhanming said: "Brother Han, don't worry. Brother Yu is going back this time, and he is planning to take advantage of a few days of leisure time to make good plans for this matter."

Han Baiyue said: "That's a hard work for you." After saying that, he walked past Gao Zhanming, with a proud look like a peacock, but his walking posture was a bit awkward, so it looked funny.

Gao Huachong walked past Gao Zhanming unhurriedly, without saying a word to Gao Zhanming, but his eyes made Gao Zhanming shudder—he actually saw deep hatred in Gao Huachong's eyes.

After leaving the school, Gao Zhanming took Yinhe all the way back to the mansion.The mansion of Gao Zhanming's family is very close to the Duke's Mansion, both in the center of Gyeonggi, only two or three miles away from the imperial city.The house was bestowed by the former emperor, the walls are more than ten feet high, and the palace is magnificent.However, walking into the gate, it is quite different from what you see outside the mansion.The mansion is overgrown with weeds and dead leaves. It has been a long time since no one has taken care of it. It is because the mansion is too big and the mansion cannot invite so many servants.

Since Gao Zhanming's father passed away due to illness in his early twenties, Gao Zhanming was left with only one child, and there were no other concubines in the family, so the population of their family was not prosperous. Such a big house.The next door to the Anguo Duke's Mansion has a large population, and it is too big to live in. Many students and staff of the Anguo Duke's Mansion came to Gao Zhanming's house to borrow.Gao Zhanming walked all the way to the inner hall, and met several disciples of the Duke's Mansion on the way. They were not enthusiastic about Gao Zhanming, and even turned a blind eye to him. Gao Zhanming didn't bother to pay attention to them, and hurried to the East Chamber.

Gao Zhanming was not aware of the difficult situation of his family during the month of recuperating at home. Although he knew that his family was not as wealthy as his family, but after seeing the big house and some antiques in the mansion, he thought that he didn't need to worry about the family's finances. You just need to study hard to become a scholar.It wasn't until he heard other people's comments in Zongxue that he realized that his family had already started selling properties to make a living in embarrassment.In this case, he can't ignore it.

When Gao Zhanming returned to the room, the maid in the room was napping at the table. The door was suddenly pushed open, and a gust of wind blew in, making her very smart. She woke up from her sleep in a daze, and saw Gao Zhanming standing there. Beside him, he fell down from the chair in fright, and stammered: "Master, why are you back?"

Gao Zhanming sat down at the table, not getting angry: "Go and call me Jia Cheng."

The maid was still in a daze, Yinhe stepped forward and pushed her, and said in a low voice: "Didn't you hear what Master said, why don't you go quickly."

The servant girl finally came to her senses, hurriedly brushed the strands of hair that had fallen out of her nap behind her ears, and ran out.

After a while, Liu Da, the family clerk of the mansion, hurried over.When Liu Day saw Gao Zhanming, he was also shocked, and quickly knelt down to him: "I have seen you."

Gao Zhanming waved his hand and said, "No need to pray."

Liu Daban's bent knees froze in the air. After hesitating for a while, he stood up straight, full of confusion, and said, "Master, aren't you studying in Zongxue? Why are you back?" While checking Gao Zhanming before, he muttered, "Grandpa, you have been punished again, right? Or is the wound open? Zongzheng in the school is not a thing. He doesn't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face, but he looks at the Buddha's face." For the master's sake, you can't be punished for your flesh and blood! The poor master left too early, and let those dogs take chicken feathers as arrows..."

Gao Zhanming raised his hand to stop his nagging: "Don't worry, I'm not hurt."

When he was recuperating in the mansion earlier, Gao Zhanming had roughly figured out the personnel affairs in the mansion.This Liu Da was a former servant of his father Gao Yuanqing who died early. He grew up in Gao Yuanqing and served Gao Yuanqing all his life. After Gao Yuanqing died, he began to serve Gao Yuanqing's son Gao Zhanming again.He is very loyal to Gao Yuanqing and Gao Zhanming, and he is a available person.

Liu Da was confused: "Master, you are not injured? Then why did you come back?"

Gao Zhanming asked straight to the point: "Do you have the account book of the family? How much money is available in the public office?"

Liu Day was taken aback, showing a troubled expression: "Master, do you want to use money?"

The reason why he was in trouble was not that he was reluctant to part with the silver taels, but that the public really didn't have much money to use.Gao Zhanming is studying in Zongxue, and his daily expenses are all funded by the government. As he himself is a sensible child, he rarely buys new clothes and shoes, and he doesn't have any favorite things that cost money, so he asks for money. It must be necessary to deal with some unavoidable situations.What is the status of this Gao family? It's just a casual entertainment, and it's not something that can be easily spent with a small amount of money. Therefore, once Gao Zhanming asks for money, the amount will definitely not be small.

Gao Zhanming said: "Don't ask these questions, just bring me the account book and have a look."

Liu Da had no choice but to back out, and came back with the ledger in a short while.Gao Zhanming took the ledger and read it.The reason why he suddenly asked for the account book was also to prevent others from cheating him.He knew that the masters of some big families didn't know the prices in the world, and those unscrupulous servants could deceive the masters by falsely reporting an egg and a tael of silver, thus enriching their own pockets.

Seeing that Gao Zhanming was watching seriously, Liu Da asked puzzledly, "When will you read the accounts, my lord?"

Gao Zhanming ignored him and hastily scanned the ledger.There is nothing unusual about the expenditure, it is clear how much money was bought and how many things were bought, what is the private price, and the purchase price on the account book is also almost the same.Liu Da only brought an account book, which recorded the income and expenditure of the company in the past two months.

Just reading one book is enough to see a lot of things, this account should not be fake, after all, Liu Da thought that Gao Zhanming didn't even know how to read the account, so there was no need to make a fake.Now that the details of the accounts are clear and reliable, Gao Zhanming has a little more affection for Liu Da in his heart: In a family of a wealthy family who has failed, he manages the accounts so well and does not deceive the master to take the opportunity to enrich himself, which shows that Liu Da is the housekeeper. Supervising took a lot of effort, and his loyalty is commendable!

Gao Zhanming turned the ledger to the end, and found that there were more than 200 taels of silver left in the public school. More than 200 taels is enough for an ordinary folk family to live for a lifetime, but in Gao's house, they can't afford a decent banquet. It seems that Gao Zhanming is indeed poor.

Gao Zhanming raised his head and said firmly, "I need silver."

Liu Da said with a bitter face: "Master, what do you want money for? How much money do you want?"

Gao Zhanming smiled slightly and said, "I want money, so of course I want to support my family."

Liu Da and Yinhe beside him stared blankly at Gao Zhanming, as if they didn't understand what he was talking about.

Gao Zhanming closed the account book, and said: "My father died early, and I was the only male in the family. I am the eldest son, so naturally I have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the family business. I suffered a big loss a few days ago, and my heart suddenly became clear. Others are If you can't rely on it, you still have to rely on yourself. Starting today, I will support my family."

Liu Da was surprised from ear to ear: "But Lord...you are still studying in Zongxue..."

Gao Zhanming said: "Don't worry, I won't fall behind in my studies. It's just that my family is in decline, and I don't feel at ease studying in school."

Liu Da's eyes suddenly turned red, and he quickly turned his back to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.He felt sorry for his young master and couldn't help it.Gao Zhanming said, how could he not know?Although Gao Zhanming never complained to others, in the past, Gao Zhanming always came back from Zongxue with injuries on his body, which were left by being bullied.Not to mention those young masters and ladies, even the influential disciples and staff who borrowed from the mansion would like to kneel down and lick the soil behind An Guogong's feet in the mansion next door. Reasonable.I only hate that the master died too early, the young master lost his father when he was young, and suffered so much for nothing!

Gao Zhanming said: "There is nothing wrong with the expenditures in this account, but I am puzzled by the entry. Liu Da, please take a few more account books. I need to read all the accounts for at least the past two years!"

Liu Da responded, and hurried out, and came back with two servants carrying a box of account books after a while.
